Integration modules receive data requests from process
management products and return the response data from operational
management products.
Creating integration modules
You can create an integration module to pass data between
local and external applications. Depending on your needs, you can
implement an integration module as an invocation channel or Java™ class. Both the invocation
channel and Java class have
access to the database and all the objects in memory at the time a
process management product invokes an integration module.
Selecting logical management operations for integration modules
You can use the Select Operations dialog
box to associate one or more logical management operations with an
integration module record. Logical management operations define an
action that a process manager product runs from an application.
Associating a logical management operation with an integration module
You can associate a logical management operation with an
integration module to define the actions that are taken on an operational
management product. Process management products, such as Change or
Deploy, call upon an integration module to run an operational management
product. The operational management product then runs the logical
management product, such as deploy software, and notifies the process
management product of the action status.
